@ahcorde ahcorde commented Jun 30, 2023

These changes allow to use the republisher as a rclcpp_component and as a normal node.

An example of how to use this:

ros2 run image_transport republish --in_transport compressed in/compressed:=/camera/image/compressed out/compressed:=/camera/republish/compressed out:=/camera/republish/image_raw

Looks good ! Could you add a test or an example ? Maybe here : https://github.com/ros-perception/image_common/tree/noetic-devel/image_transport/tutorial/src ?

class Republisher : public rclcpp::Node

Is the "!" a typo ?

I don't understand why you go through manually processing the parameters?

auto pub = image_transport::create_publisher(
node.get(), out_topic,
this->pub = image_transport::create_publisher(
this->shared_from_this().get(), out_topic,

What is the point of all this? It seems to be the only specialized thing you are doing over the default behavior of generating an executable using rclcpp_components_register_node

rclcpp_components
rclcpp
)
rclcpp_components_register_nodes(republish_node "image_transport::Republisher")

You could actually remove the entire add_executable below, delete republish_program.cpp and the utilities files and generate a node that loads the plugin and runs it with:

rclcpp_components_register_node(republish_node
  PLUGIN "image_transport::Republisher"
  EXECUTABLE republish
)

When using --out_transport the app is crashing.

// Load transport plugin
typedef image_transport::PublisherPlugin Plugin;
pluginlib::ClassLoader<Plugin> loader("image_transport", "image_transport::PublisherPlugin");
std::string lookup_name = Plugin::getLookupName(out_transport);

auto instance = loader.createUniqueInstance(lookup_name);
std::shared_ptr<Plugin> pub = std::move(instance);
pub->advertise(node.get(), out_topic);
pub->advertise(this, out_topic);

should this be this->pub? rather than declaring a new one in the line above? Might that be your crash?

Yep, but I have now this awesome message

Warning: class_loader.ClassLoader: SEVERE WARNING!!! Attempting to unload library while objects created by this loader exist in the heap! You should delete your objects before attempting to unload the library or destroying the ClassLoader. The library will NOT be unloaded.

Error is fixed too. The loader need to keep alive too

Honestly - probably 70% of the ROS codebase that uses pluginlib has that error on shutdown
